10 Claims. (Cl. 229 21) The object or. my invention is to form a cup outoi a single piece of paper or similar substance having plaited or foldedsides, with preferably a round rolled edge on the top to stiflen the topand a turned-in and raised bottom to stlflen the bottom. I am aware thatsingle piece paper. cups are already provided with stiflened rims butwith Cups of this type when filled with tom having no stiifnesswhatsoever unless unnecessarily heavy paper is used. Wlth a turnedin andraised bottom a remarkably greater stillness is given the whole cup withbut little greater expense oi paper.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein- F'lg.1 is a cross-section 01' my improved cup and Fig. 2 an elevation of thesame.

Throughout the views of the drawing, similar reference charactersdesignate similar parts.

My improved cup I is made from a single piece of paper or equivalentmaterial provided with plaited or folded sides 2 of any oi theconventional kind. On the top 3 is shown a rolled rim I or theconventional type to stiifen the cup at the top. At the lowest point 5of the cup the bottom 6 is elevated or raised above the lower edgewithin the side walls of the cup-forming sides I closely hugging theplatted sides 2, giving the lower end of the cup a double thickness ofmaterial. This bottom 6 is furthermore stiffened by a depression orindentation 8.

In addition a bead a is provided to stiflen'the base of the cup. V

This cup may or may not be parafllned as its application may require butin all cases will the raised bottom prove a great improvement and makethe cup more valuable.

My invention, of course is not confined to cups having rolled rims. It.'may be employed on any cup" or container made from a single sheet ofpaper. 1 What I claim is:

I 1. A paper cup made from a single sheet of paper, the lowergend ofwhich has a rolled bead substantially circular in cross-section torstifiening the same.

2. A paper cup made from a single sheet of paper having a raised bottomand a rolled bead substantially circular in cross-section at the bottomi'or stifl'ening the same. L

3. A paper cup formed 43mm 9. single sheet of paper having the loweredge of the side walls rolled inwardly and upwardly and thence towardthe side walls of the cup to provide a stiflening bead at thecircumferential edge of the base of 4. A paper cup formed from a singlesheet of paper having the lower edge 01 the side walls rolled inwardlyand upwardly and thence toward the side walls of the cup to provideastiffening bead at the circumferential edge of the base or the cup and abottom for the cup raised above the bead to form a narrow annularportion ex tending parallel to and closely hugging the side walls of thecup for strengthening and stifiening the base of the cup. I

5. A paper cup formed from a single sheet of paper having the lower edgeof ,the side walls rolled to provide a stiffening bead substantiallycircular in cross section at the circumferential edge at the base of thecup and having the bottom of the cup indentured to stiffen the same.

6. A paper cup formed from a single sheet of paper having pleated sidewalls with the lower edge of the side walls rolled inwardly and upwardlyto provide a stiflening bead at the circumierential edgeat the base ofthe cup and a bottom for the cup raised above the bead and forminga-narrow annular portion extending parailel to and closely hugging theside walls of the cup for strengthening and stiffening the base oi thecup, said bottom also having its central portion indentured for furtherstrengthening and stiilening the same. i

7. A paper cup iormedjfrom a single sheet of paper and having seamlesspleated side-walls and having its bottom formed continuously with theside walls and raised above the lower edge of the side-walls to form anannular wall of a double thickness of material at the base of the cupfor strengthening and stiffening the same.

8. A paper cup formed from a single sheet of paper and having seamlesspleated side-walls and and having at the base thereof a rolled beadformed continuously with the side walls and substantially circular incross-section for stiffening the base of the cup.

10. A paper cup formed from a single sheet of paper and having seamlesspleated side walls and having at the base thereof a rolled bead formedcontinuously with the side walls and substantially circular incross-section for stiiiening the base of the cup, and a bottom raisedabove the bead and forming a narrow annular portion extending parallelto and closely hugging the side walls of the. cup for furtherstiil'ening the base ot the cup.
